When Qian Chong and the other four climbed to the top of the mountain, this place suddenly became another world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As far as they could see, it was a slope, and it spread downward, but it was almost non-growing, and it was as if it had been burnt, and the air smelled of a foul smell. What's even more frightening is that not far from them, there are several human skeletons and skeletons displayed horizontally, which looks extremely gloomy and terrifying.

Needless to say, the two girls hugged each other with a disgraced face, and even Qian Chong's face turned green with shock. In his opinion, what is the difference between this place and hell?

Although the old man has experienced various environments and scenes for a long time, he is also creepy about the situation in front of him!

He watched all this in amazement, completely overwhelmed.

Qian Chong was a young man in the end, although his heart was beating violently, he reminded the old man in fear: "Uncle, let's go down quickly, don't..." ”

Qian Chong's words reminded the old man that after all, he was engaged in geological work, and he maintained a curiosity about all the strange geographical environments in nature, even in another world.

"Young man, let's not be in a hurry, since we have already touched here, we must find out what is going on here and what happened?"

Qian Chong saw that the old man refused to leave, but took a step forward, and he hurriedly stabbed the two frightened girls beside him: "Xiaoru, don't be afraid, be strong." There is a brother to protect you. ”

He comforted them with these words and cheered himself up. If he were alone, he would have run back, but with the girl he loved the most, he had to be strong. Be an example for her.

After a moment of shock, Shen Junru and Tilis finally calmed down. After Shen Junru separated from Tilis, she couldn't help grabbing Qian Chong's arm. She timidly looked at the old man's forward back, and couldn't help but tremble and said, "Qian Chong, why is he... Why is he still moving forward...

Qian Chong gradually regained his courage. He pretended to be calm and said, "That old gentleman doesn't know what's going on here. That's why he had to find out what had happened here. Xiaoru, don't be afraid. I'll take care of you both. Let's go with the old gentleman too. ”

Shen Junru was completely attached to Qian Chong's side at this time, and her body trembled...

Qian Chong put an arm around her shoulder, as if he wanted to completely cover her trembling delicate body in his arms.

Tilis is much more courageous than Shen Junru. She is also a girl full of curiosity. When she was frightened for a while, she patted Shen Junru: "Miss Shen, let's go with the old gentleman." ”

Tilis hurried to follow the old man in front of her, but she carefully walked around the bones of the dead men.

Qian Chong also settled down, and he hugged Shen Junru and slowly moved forward...

At this time, the old man stopped at a smoking hill and leaned down to look down.

Qian Chong didn't know what the old man had discovered, so he put his arms around Shen Junru and quickened his pace.

When the two of them finally arrived there, they found that there was a large crater more than ten meters deep on the top of the mountain bag.

But when he looked closely, there was something unusual underneath the pit, as if it were a quagmire, and wisps of green smoke were rising, and even bubbling, and a wave of heat was also scorching their cheeks. It's like a big stove under the mud.

"Uncle, what's going on?"

The old man pointed with his finger and said, "You may not have seen it, this is the lava lake formed after the volcanic eruption. It seems that we are already in the legendary 'Sky Wolf Mountain'.

Qian Chong and Shen Junru didn't know the horror of Heavenly Wolf Mountain, and neither of them felt too scared. But Tilis looked horrified and said, "I heard that none of the people who have been here have come back alive. No wonder we found the bones of those dead. ”

Qian Chong also panicked at this time: "Since we have come to the top of the volcano, will it erupt again, let's run quickly?" ”

The old man said calmly: "Don't be afraid, I have observed this in detail just now. This is just one of the small volcanoes, and judging by the signs, it won't erupt again anytime soon. ”

Qian Cong froze: "That's good, can we get out of here?" ”

The old man pointed to them again at a few places in the distance where there was green smoke: "You see, those may be volcanoes that erupt at any time, and this is a volcanic group. Although the eruptions are small, they are frequent. Although it did not spread to the outside world, it formed a disaster area in this small area where all kinds of creatures could not survive. ”

Qian Chong nodded: "It's no wonder that there is no grass here, it is completely different from that miasma valley, at least plants can grow there." ”

Tilis interjected, "Since we can't cross that miasma valley, can we find a way out from here?" Before a nearby volcano erupts, get out of this hellish place. ”

The old man hesitated again, and he looked back at the skeletons, and couldn't help but wonder, "How did those people die here?" If there is a way out ahead, why should they die here! ”

Shen Junru guessed at this time: "Could it be that they just came here and are encountering a volcanic eruption?" ”

The old man shook his head: "They may have something to do with the volcanic eruption, but when they encounter a volcanic eruption, why don't they run in the direction of the miasma valley?" As you can see, there is no trace of volcanic magma in the place where everyone rests. And they died on the edge, and there should be a possibility of escaping down. But we didn't find any dead human bones near Miasma Valley. ”

Qian Chong racked his brains and thought about it, but he didn't have a clue, he asked the old man for his opinion again: "What should we do?" Do you want to continue to explore the way? ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, and then his expression returned to resoluteness: "We haven't found out the mystery here. Let's go a little further. Maybe there will be new discoveries. ”

Qian Chong, Shen Junru and the others looked at each other for a while, and neither expressed any objections. So, they left the lava lake and continued on their way...

However, when they had walked two or three miles, they were stunned by what they encountered...

In front of them, a col appeared, and in it appeared a cloud of smoke that resembled a miasma valley, but it was not fog, but some suspended matter formed a haze. And through these gloom, there are countless skeletons and body bones on display...

Shen Junru hurriedly hugged Qian Chong's back and buried her pretty face deeply.

Tilis next to her also changed color in shock, and she leaned her body against Shen Junru's back. Qian Chong seemed to have become a shield against their fear.

Qian Chong looked at the old man next to him nervously, and then said in surprise: "Could it be that this is the legendary 'mass grave'?" ”

The old man's brows furrowed, and he quickly came to a conclusion: "These people must have died en masse." How did he die? ”

Tilis was shocked, "Of course they've been burned to death by the lava from the volcano!" ”

The old man shook his head again and again: "This is impossible, the magma from the volcanic eruption will make these people scatter and flee, why do they die together?" ”

Qian Chong also denied: "Although I have not personally experienced volcanic eruptions, I have seen on TV that those magma are like streams, flowing from a high place in one direction, and everywhere they go, they will sweep everything away." Suppose they were attacked by magma. Then their corpses should be buried by flooding, and they won't have such intact skeletons! ”

The old man nodded affirmatively: "You analyzed it well, they may die of poisoning en masse!" ”

Shen Junru had already poked her head out of Qian Chong's back, although she was afraid, she couldn't bear to see those terrifying scenes. But I still can't resist my curiosity. She also asked timidly: "Uncle, how can you conclude that they died of poisoning?" Where did the poison come from? ”

The old man looked at the places where the smoke looked like graves, and then said in an affirmative tone: "They died from the poisonous gas emitted by these volcanic eruptions!" ”

"What? Do volcanoes also emit poison gases when they erupt? ”

Listening to everyone ask this question in unison, the old man pointed to the haze below that was always suspended and said, "You see, those gloom is the volcanic ash produced by the eruption of the volcano. Of course, this volcanic ash must be left behind by the latest eruption. And those people seem to have been dead for many years, they must have died from the volcanic ash that erupted many years ago. ”

Shen Junru said in disbelief: "Could it be that volcanic ash is so toxic?" I haven't heard of it! ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Who said that volcanic ash is not highly poisonous? When a volcano erupts, in addition to lava and ash, there are also individual volcanoes that emit organic gases. When the organic gases that are buried deep in the ground are gushed out with the eruption, they do not drift far away because of their high density, but disperse to the surface nearby, and flow to low-lying terrain. If you look at the lack of vegetation here, it's not entirely because of the lava, but also because of the haze caused by the volcanic ash. No living thing can be allowed to grow. ”

Qian Chong listened, and couldn't help but get tired of looking at the sun that had set in the west. He immediately chimed in: "No, we can't feel the haze when we stand here, but the sunlight is still not fresh enough, but drowsy. It's like in a fog. ”

The old man was a little scared and said, "It seems that we are much luckier than those who died, because this is the period when the impact is the least since the last eruption." And before the next volcanic eruption. ”

Tilis was a little puzzled and said, "Old man, how can you conclude that so many people will die together?" They might be the ones who came here to explore! Because, I haven't heard of anyone who got out alive. ”

The old man pointed to the bones, and then asked, "Girl, please look at them, how many bones can there be?" ”

Tilis glanced at it a few times, then said, "At least a thousand!" ”

"Well, then you say, those who used to go into the mountains to explore will come in at the same time?"

"Of course not! It's all one after the other, many years ago, and in recent years. ”

The old man hypothesized again: "When the later explorers find that someone has died in this place, will they also choose to die with them?" ”

Without waiting for Tilis to answer, Qian Chong shook his head and said, "If I find someone dead there, I will flee from them." How can you lie with them? ”

The old man nodded and said, "That's it!" When a volcano erupts, it's not just the col that fills with a toxic haze, but even where we stand. Therefore, even if you are poisoned by mistake, you will not all die in that place. ”

Shen Junru nodded and said, "So you conclude that they are a whole." When the volcano erupted, they did not directly face the lava, so they took refuge there, and as a result, they were poisoned and died together. ”

The old man laughed: "Girl, you are very smart, I think so too." ”

Tilis was shocked, "Could this be the truth about Heavenly Wolf Mountain?" Is it because it is full of toxic gases that the people who come in cannot survive? ”

Qian Chong was very confused and said, "Aren't we coming in now?" At least it's okay now! ”

Shen Junru immediately said angrily: "Why are you so confused? Didn't the uncle explain just now? We are in the luckiest time to come in at this time, the impact of the last eruption is very low, and the next eruption is not yet coming. ”

Qian Chong suddenly said at this time: "Then let's get out of here in the shortest possible time." The number of those who died was many times more than the number of people in our tour group. ”

The old man wondered, "But who are they?" Why did they die here en masse? ”

Qian Chong looked at the face of the old man who was full of greetings, and asked, "Do you want to know who they are?" ”

The old man nodded: "Of course I want to know, aren't you curious?" ”

Qian Chong asked again: "Didn't you just say that this period is safe?" ”

"Well, the chances of us being poisoned now are very small!"

"Alright, you and these two girls will stay here, and I'll go check and see if I can find some relics that can prove their identity."

After Qian Chong finished speaking, he strode towards the col full of bones...

Shen Junru was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Qian Chong, don't go, come back to me quickly!" ”
